One of Motorhead’s most popular tunes, “Ace of Spades” is an ode to gambling and risking everything for the thrill of the game.
Lemmy told Rolling Stone,
It’s still very popular. When we do it onstage, everyone loves it. But when we wrote it, we were just doing an album. It’s just fucking another...
[Verse 1]
If you like to gamble, I tell you I'm your man
You win some, lose some, it's all the same to me
The pleasure is to play, it makes no difference what you say
I don't share your greed, the only card I need is
[Chorus]
The Ace of Spades
The Ace of Spades
[Verse 2]
Playing for the high one, dancing with the devil
Going with the flow, it's all a game to me
Seven or Eleven, snake eyes watching you
Double up or quit, double stake or split
[Chorus]
The Ace of Spades
The Ace of Spades
[Bridge]
You know I'm born to lose, and gambling's for fools
But that's the way I like it, baby, I don't wanna live forever
And don't forget the joker!
[Guitar Solo]
[Verse 3]
Pushing up the ante, I know you got to see me
Read 'em and weep, the dead man's hand again
I see it in your eyes, take one look and die
The only thing you see, you know it's gonna be
[Chorus]
The Ace of Spades
